Hiccup slowly walked towards the Night Fury, then directly stood on his back.
His proud and upright posture was watched by tens of thousands of villagers present.
When the Night Fury carried Hiccup into the air, all the Dragons landed, and all the villagers on the ground knelt.
Once again, they shouted in unison: "Greetings, Divine Emissary!"
The voices of tens of thousands of people were deafening, and the captives recovered from their shock, quickly kneeling and bowing with them.
At this moment, Hiccup couldn't help but think to himself: "No wonder in the Middle Ages, divine power was greater than royal power! Every king's appointment and removal was carried out by the godfather!"
"Now that I've seen this situation with my own eyes, it truly is a shocking feeling!"
Although he was just a charlatan, such advanced science, in the eyes of these people, was a miracle.
After putting on a show, Hiccup ordered the Dragon Knight to lead the villagers away!
Then he directly rode the Night Fury and descended in front of these captives, and using a megaphone, he said to them: "Everyone, follow me!"
Hiccup led these people to a valley, where there was a deep pit filled with snow, looking from afar like an ice cream Christmas.
Then Hiccup once again sat on the Night Fury's back and flew into the air, shouting through the megaphone: "Odin wants me to bestow holy water upon you!"
"Everyone go and receive the baptism of holy water. After being baptized by the holy water, you will become true warriors! Not only will you have immense strength, but you will also be agile, able to defeat a hundred on the battlefield! Invincible!"
As Hiccup's words fell, the snow in the deep pit was melting into water at a visible speed.
To these captives, this was simply a miracle reappearing, and they believed that this was not ordinary snow at all, but holy water bestowed by Odin.
In reality, it was simply because after Death Song dug a deep pit, it also dug a heating passage underneath.
With thousands of Dragons breathing fire together, the snow would, of course, turn into hot springs at an extremely fast rate!
Hiccup once again said to the captives below: "What are you still waiting for? Do you want to neglect Odin's holy water?"
"Plop ~ Plop ~"
These captives jumped into the deep pit without hesitation.
Hiccup said with some disdain: "Take off your clothes so you can better receive the baptism of holy water!"
These people all did as told, and then swam freely in the deep pit.
"Thank Odin for his grace! With the baptism of holy water, my injuries are healing rapidly!"
"This is simply a miracle; we are truly Odin's favorites!"
"Thank Odin for his grace, I am willing to become your most devout warrior, to kill all enemies for you!"
Some people prayed in the deep pit, while others swam and drank large gulps in the deep pit, not daring to waste a drop.
This scene made Hiccup feel a bit nauseous, after all, these captives rarely bathed, and when they fought earlier, they fell into the sea and got covered in mud!
Now that so many people jumped into the pool, the water almost instantly changed color. Yet these people were still drinking large gulps.
When the time was almost up, Hiccup patted the Night Fury's neck.
"Roar~~!"
The Night Fury let out a roar towards the sky!
Immediately, Dragon Knights appeared in the sky with sets of armor.
Of course, these armors were all brought back from Thunder Island. There were only a little over ten thousand captives in front of them, which was enough for their use.
Although Berk Island sells Dragon Scale Armor, Dragon Scale Armor not only has extremely high magical defense but also extremely strong physical defense!
A warrior wearing Dragon Scale Armor can even shatter a cast iron longsword with one punch.
Of course, it also means that Dragon Scale Armor is very rare and can only be equipped by Dragon Knights. While the ones sold are defective products, they are still much better than these other weapons and armors.
And these people were originally the Daredevil Squad; they never expected to survive this battle.
Moreover, the armors brought back from Thunder Island were all regular army armors, genuine full sets of knight armor, with only holes for the eyes!
Wearing this armor could be said to make one invulnerable!
And when these captives saw these shining armors, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
One by one, they scrambled out of the deep pit, then put on these armors layer by layer.
When these people were all dressed in armor, it was as if the armor had come to life; there was no trace of a person to be seen!
Of course, after these people put on the armor and moved around a few times, they got tired. After all, despite their excitement, they had been confined in the dungeon for too long, ate poorly, lacked nutrition, and their physical strength was naturally much weaker.
The enemy army will arrive in about three to five days. If it's a small fleet, it might arrive in two days, but a large fleet, especially such a chaotic combination, will be even slower.
The most crucial thing is that they can only be led by Merchant John, otherwise, they won't be able to find Berk Island.
So, during this time, Hiccup had to make sure they ate well!
Anyway, with the help of the Hot Pot Dragon, sea fish could be eaten until full, and black bread could also fill them up. Those with stronger capabilities could eat mutton!
Moreover, Hiccup gave them simple combat training. Although these people were battle-hardened pirates at sea, they all fought individually and had no concept of cooperation.
And their fighting style was extremely simple: besides chasing and slashing, it was still chasing and slashing.
If they had worn simple armor before, it would have been fine, but now they were wearing heavy knight armor. If they still fought like before, they would be exhausted in less than half an hour.
So, they absolutely had to learn to cooperate.
Secondly, they needed to know how to use recovery potions.
Of course, the recovery potions given to them were not diluted healing potions, but highly concentrated recovery potions.
It had been tested on Snotlout that such a high concentration of healing potion was like a stimulant, giving people the illusion that they had endless strength.
And this also aligned more with the holy water baptism Hiccup had told them about earlier.
Of course, during training, they were only warned beforehand; it was impossible to let them drink it.
Otherwise, if their potential was drained before the battle even began, these people would basically be useless.
While training these Daredevil Squad members, Hiccup was also intensifying the training of the Dragon Knights. Training physical fitness and swordsmanship was definitely too late, so Hiccup developed new training methods…
